属于狗狗的一天

2011-12-07来源:CCTV9

Dog owners are having a howl in Hong Kong where a world record has been broken with the help of man’s best friend.
香港的狗主人正在发出喊叫,在这里,在人类最好的朋友的帮助下,一项世界纪录被打破了。

These are the record breakers. The record breaking dog training session in Hong Kong’s beachfront Stanley district commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The event attracted more than three hundred and fifty participants - smashing the old record of 318.
这些是记录的打破者。这个打破香港赤柱海滨地区狗训练会的记录是为了庆祝防止虐待动物协会(SPCA)成立90周年纪念日。这项活动吸引了350名参与者——打破了之前318名参与者的记录。

Some are using the day to point to growing animal-friendliness in the region. Michael Wong, spokesman of SPCA, said, "I’ll say Hong Kong is getting there. I wouldn’t say it is totally animal friendly yet but I think we have made great improvements over the last 10 years and certainly in the last 90 years, we are a totally different city. And in the next ten years, I am sure people will say Hong Kong is the most animal-friendly place in Asia."
有些人利用这一天来促进这个地区的动物友爱。防止虐待动物协会的发言人Michael Wong表示:“我会说香港就要成功。我不会说这完全是爱护动物,但是我觉得我们过去10年里已经有了很大的改善,当然过去90年里,我们的城市完全不同了。在未来10年,我相信人们会说,香港是亚洲最爱护动物的地方。”

The session consisted of training both for obedience and tricks, and the dogs and their owners seemed to be working hard.
这次的训练会包括服从训练和技巧训练,狗和它们的主人似乎都很努力。

This trick is called "Stationary Marching" - it requires the dogs to lift one of their paws as the owner lifts one of their legs. It might be a little rough, but they seem to handle it well.
这个技巧叫做“原地踏步”——它要求狗在主人抬脚的时候它们抬起爪子。虽然这可能有点粗糙,但是它们似乎掌握地很好。

Rebecah Rousseau, a participant, said, "Yeah, it’s really cool thinking this will be in the Guinness World Records book."
参与者Rebecah Rousseau表示:“是的,冷静下来思考,这可能成为吉尼斯世界记录。”

Views towards our fellow creatures seem to be becoming more positive. It’s hoped that by cultivating a deeper respect for all life in our communities, we might live in greater peace and harmony. Now that’s a tail with a happy ending.
对我们人类的看法似乎变得更加积极。希望通过在我们的社会培养一种更深的尊重,我们可能会生活得更加平安、和谐。现在,这有了一个快乐的结局。
